What Advice Would You Give To…

When I get stuck and I am trying to figure out what to do or how to deal with a situation, one of the questions I find useful to ask myself is “What advice would I give someone else?”

It’s often easy to look at the other people in my life or even strangers, and ask, “If they were in my situation, what advice would I give them?” Or even “What advice would I give them in general?”

Of course, you are not going to give them the advice; instead, you will take the advice for yourself. It’s easy to see the faults in others. It’s easy to see how others can change their life, but can you swallow your own medicine?
